Find Me (NCT Doyoung)

26 : Hide and Seek

"We can find Yuna, hyung"
Ten said, anxiously scratching his head. He was absolutely distraught. Doyoung was trying to process this, narrowing him to have literally gone mad or he was becoming a mad genius, either way he was mad.

"Ok, ok, chill Ten. What happened?"
"I..I kind of had a dream or something or a memory, I don't know but something like that. She told me something about a tracker, that we should track her down if she ever goes missing and..and I think that's why she told us to stop fighting. She wants us to work together"

Doyoung was overwhelmed eventhough he knew there was a great chance that Yuna was alive but he didn't expect for Yuna to set the two to work together. It didn't help that he was confused on whether to trust the source of the information or not.

"How are you sure this is real, Ten?"
"Hyung, everyone in NCT knows that even if it is a dream, there's always a truth in mine"

Both of them knew, the whole NCT knew, that Ten's dreams would be a helpful hint to them in any situation. That's why Ten and Johnny slept in the same room, the older studying his sleeping antics and brain waves, to stimulate a dream within a dream to a reality.

"But even if it's real, I still need a chip or a reader on her tracker"
Doyoung tried to fish answers in a vass ocean of possibilities. Ten started to think on where Yuna would install her tracker. "Let's just go check her room"

The two exited the room, sneaking into Yuna's room, closing the door behind them. Ten started checking her desk while Doyoung checked her bed. Not finding anything, they switched to different spots of her room, Doyoung searching the vanity table, Ten going through her wardrobe.

"I can't find anything that's like a code in here"
"Would she hide it in a weird place? She was an assassin before. Everything needs to be unexpected and hidden"
"Like the bathroom?"
"Should we check?"
"I guess.."

The two walked into the bathroom, going through the cubbies, between the towels and sanitary pads. Whoever saw them would think they were some crazy perverts. Finding nothing, they walked out of the bathroom, sitting on the floor.

"This is harder than I thought"
"I know"

They were wasting time, not thinking of checking the most obvious place, expecting Yuna to keep it absolutely hidden. How they would be calling themselves idiots for the next three months when they found out the code was in Yuna's laptop, which was still in the meeting room.

"Let's continue tomorrow. If you have any idea where it would be, tell me right away"
Doyoung sighed before getting up, pulling Ten up as well. Doyoung left the room as Ten stayed for awhile before leaving as well.

During dinner, the atmosphere around the tables were a little better, probably because of Doyoung going around earlier in the day. After the meal, the members separated, Dream (OT6 here) and Yangyang deciding to play.

"Nintendo?"
"Boring"
"PS4?"
"Same thing"
"Board games"
"We played those yesterday"
"Then how about you guys suggest it?"

Chenle pouted as the members started thinking of what to play when Jisung snapped his fingers. "How about we go back? Hide and seek?"

The members looked at each other judgingly before slowly nodding, Chenle gasping in disbelief. Everyone suddenly pulled their hands out, automatically playing rock, paper, scissors to decide the seeker.
